Why 317 words?
First, being restricted to a set number of words is a great writing exercise. I’ve found that having a word-number target not only helps me focus my writing, but also forces me to work hard at crafting that writing. When my word-count is set at a specific number (not more, not less), I have to know exactly what I am trying to say and carefully add or subtract each word to help me say it.
Second, the number had to be manageable (not too restrictive and not to unwieldy) and it had to be a non-round number (just to make it more interesting). 317 is one of my favorite numbers, so it seemed like a good option.
What about you? Do you like having word-number restrictions? Do you have a favorite number? (Is it weird that I asked you that?) Let me know in the comments.

A game of blood and violence, the combination of pleasure and a somewhat gruesome feeling. Happy Wheels two https://happywheels2.club/ is a game where you choose extravagant vehicles, from a bike to a wheel chair and send the via a comfy track where the awkward motorist will try to urgently escape mutilation, decapitation and departure, you can even eject the personality against the car or truck.

Interesting. Sometimes, I do that with a chapter. If a chapter ends near a round number, I start rewording sentences to have it end with a round number.

True. Since literary agents are so selective, I have read the first chapter of my novel a thousand times. You have a wonderful evening. Keep writing. You do it so well.
